Six steps to hire a health coach and dietitian

  1. Set the pay range first. Few postings for this work state pay, so look at what similar roles near you advertise and at what your own team earns. 57% of the postings state pay; in several US states and EU countries the law requires it.
  2. Write the description. Start from the health coach and dietitian job description template, then check it with the job description checker: the pay, the place of work and the must-haves should be clear before the second paragraph.
  3. Decide where the person can work. 53% of today’s health coach and dietitian postings are remote and 0% hybrid. If yours is remote, name the countries or time zones; “remote” alone brings applications you cannot accept.
  4. Post it where people look. Post the job free on this site, add it to your own careers page and send it to people you know who do this work.
  5. Screen for the work, not the titles. Ask each candidate to describe a result from similar work, with a number. Score every candidate on the same points with the interview scorecard; the health coach and dietitian interview questions show what good candidates prepare for.
  6. Decide quickly. Half of today’s open health coach and dietitian postings have been up more than 31 days: a candidate who waits for your answer may be talking to other employers meanwhile. Tell every candidate when you will decide, and keep to it.

A take-home task for a health coach and dietitian

  • Use a real, anonymised task from your own work: the kind of problem the person will meet in the first month.
  • Keep it to two or three hours, say so, and pay for anything longer.
  • Ask for three things: the result, how they got there, and one recommendation or next step.
  • Score every answer on the same points: correctness, clarity and judgement.
  • Talk it through in the next interview: how they explain their choices tells as much as the result.
  • Not sure yet? A short paid trial project or a contract-to-hire term lets both sides check the fit.
